FilesRestore

Files Restore is a complete self-service recovery solution that allows administrators and end users to restore files from any point in time during the last 30 days. For more information, refer to Microsoft's support article: Restore Your OneDrive​Limitations​:

Files Restore uses version history and the recycle bin to restore OneDrive, so it's subject to the same restrictions as those features. When version history is turned off, Files Restore won’t be able to restore files to a previous version. For information about versioning settings, see Enable and configure versioning for a list or library.

Deleted files can’t be restored after they’ve been removed from the site collection recycle bin—either by manual delete or by emptying the recycle bin.

If you upload a file or folder again after deleting it, Files Restore will skip the restore operation for that file or folder.

External Sharing

Sharing is permitted with authenticated external users and using anonymous access links.

External users must accept sharing invitations using the same account that the invitations were sent to.

External users cannot share items they don't own.

Anonymous access links allow recipients to view files and folders.
